With some of my favorite people at #AERA19 @scmcken Beth @ameliagotwals

Shout out to everybody I was able to learn from, catch up with, brainstorm new projects with, dance with, receive a quick hug from or share a quick hello on the long escalator rides with at #AERA19. You all keep me going.

Shout out to @MCP718 who presented data describing the experiences of undocumented Latinx mothers who have children with disabilities. She showed the ways that the US racialized medical model and the lack of bilingual ed traps these mothers in the US with few options #AERA19

En route back to the states. Nice to have been reunited with old friends and meet new Twitter peeps IRL. See you next year in San Fran! #AERA19

And so ends #AERA19. Just got busted in customs for smuggling a banana into the US 🍌

⁦Inspired by these scholars pushing us to move writing instruction away from supposed deficiencies of racialized students to raciolinguistic ideologies that misrecongizes their literary gifts #AERA19 ⁦@sarapalvarez⁩ ⁦@Man3ka⁩ ⁦@Cati_Fu⁩ ⁦@kate_anna⁩

Really happy to have finally met @DrTeyaR and @krisarob IRL at #AERA19!

Co-construct a problem of practice with educators and build in time to discuss findings prior to dissemination - @douglas_watkins #DemocratizingEvidence #AERA19

The whole panel echoes the importance of writing your grant so that anyone can understand it, including the busy reader who may be rushing to finish reading it. Hook your reader in the first two pages. #AERA19

DeLeon Gray on program officers telling you about different pots of money that your project may fit. Bottom line: talk to your program officer! —#AERA19

"Learn more, listen more" - @johndiamondphd's advice to researchers when engaging with educators #DemocratizingEvidence #AERA19

Forward your name to program officers to try and get on a panel — Eric Anderman #AERA19

Stephanie Wormington suggests using a one pager as a tool to get feedback from program officers or peers #AERA19 #LessonsLearned

Eric Anderman strongly suggests writing your grants early and getting feedback from a critical peer. #AERA19

Stephanie Wormington on the importance of developing relationships when writing grants, or identifying your “north stars” #AERA19

Evidence comes from a lot of places. Work in collaboration with communities to generate a new set of knowledge - @johndiamondphd #DemocratizingEvidence #AERA19

"We have to be flexible and respond to what our research partners want" - @RuthLTurley #DemocratizingEvidence #AERA19

Teachers are "using the evidence that they said that they wanted" - @douglas_watkins on importance of co-designing research. #AERA19 #DemocratizingEvidence

I've come to see how powerful education research can be if done well with teachers - @douglas_watkins #AERA19 #DemocratizingEvidence

Need to make a very explicit effort to connect with potential users of research; unless we do that, we're not going to have an impact - @RuthLTurley #AERA19 #DemocratizingEvidence

Research question of the day: how long can one survive on Clif bars and coffee? #AERA19

What practitioners look for in research products: free, easy to access, easy to understand...need more research on the easy to understand part #AERA19

How do practitioners decide whether a research product is useful? Researchers overestimate importance of graphics; trusted source most important to practitioners @Rsrch4Schls #AERA19

And I took some selfies today at #AERA19 that I am still waiting to be tagged in
